I was reading Cigar Aficionado and one of the reviewers remarked that the Royale was probably Patel's best cigar so far.
Are my taste buds broken? I thought it was sort of monochromatic in flavor. Good, but not even close to the 15th anniversary or Decade imo. Heck, I'll take an RP Sungrown over the Royale if given a choice.
Not a great year for RP imo. Too many brands. Hope 2015 is better, because I do appreciate his stuff in general.
My 5 in no specific order
Jericho Hill
CAO Amazon Basin
Warped Cigars La Colmena Unica Especial
Anejo 888
1502 Black & Gold
Eiroa CBT Maduro
I know, I know that's 6 but I couldn't leave any of these off

Newbie's first year, but here are the ones I tried and enjoyed in no particular order:
Oliva Serie V Melanio
OpusX
Undercrown Dogma
Comacho Ecuador
Padron 1964
Hate myself for leaving out so many (Viaje HHG, Oliva Serie O, Padron 1926, MOW PA, Liga Privada T52, Herrera Esteli to name a few), but I'm probably just an over-excited newb. T'was a good year and looking forward to another.
